Feast your eyes on THIS! (Becky's fanart)

[:]

I used to post in the general fan art thread, but now that I'm making more stuff I decided to make a thread of my own 

These are my previous works:
Metal Zoidberg
Leela by the window
Leela smiling
Fry

And here comes something new: 


The "story" behind this is: After I posted the Metal Zoidberg, I got a request about doing a Futurama band in the same style. Well, here they are!

I actually spent waay too much time on this picture, but in the end it was well worth it. You're welcome to use it as a wallpaper, and/or give me some feedback on it  Please?

[#1 :]

Wow becky, just.. *speechless*  on this, although I only have two...

I'm so going to use that as my wallpaper!

edit: Have you taken part in the Futurama art contest already? You should!

[#2 :]

Those are really good! The best I've seen in a long time. And the Futurama Band picture was cool. Great Job!   

edit:I agree with fryfan,you should join the contest if you havn't already.
------------------
Whoa! Letters like "U" and "R" can mean words like "You" and "Are."

[#3 :]

  Thank you so much, GFF and Futurama Nerd! I'm going to bed with a big smile on my face now! 

And yeah, I've been thinking about entering the art-contest. There's nothing to lose, so why not..?

[#4 :]

Wow.Really good pictues!

[#5 :]

Dear Becky:

I love you.

Finally, the Futurama cast gets to rock out loud. Metal is good shit. You know...when it's authentic.

[#6 :]

Why do I come into these threads?  I always get jealous, 'cause I couldn't draw to save my life.  I really appreciate the callback to "Parasites Lost" in the Leela's window pic.  Very good stuff.

@GFF - you only have one thumb between your two hands?  What are you, some sort of mutant?  Back into the sewers with you! 

[#7 :]

Mmmmmm, authentic.

[#8 :]

Most impressive, Becky! 

[#9 :]

Thank you very much, everybody! I really appreciate it!

I totally agree with you! I don't like these popular "metal" bands everyone loves, and these bands only seem to do it because of money, fame etc. I feel Evanescence is one of them, but I can listen to their music, though...

I wish there were more bands like Metallica, Manowar and System Of A Down...

Thanks for noticing!

By the way: Anyone interested in characters only, from the latest pic? Well, here's Zoidberg, Fry, Bender, and Leela

[#10 :]

Your stuff is good! Verrrrrrry good. *ogles Fry for a few hours*

[#11 :]

  Thanks, Young_and_Angry! Appreciate it!

[#12 :]

Hahahahha! Awesome pic becky. You're definitely a rising star in the PEEL art ranks. 

Good on it mate!

[#13 :]

Hey, someone is trying to steal ... win the Fanart PEELie, but that price shall be mine *insane laugh*

Just kidding 
Great to see a new good artist within the threads of our community.

The Futurama Metal band is fantastic 

[#14 :]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Nasty and Daniela *blushing*!
And Daniela: I really hope you win the Fanart PEELie! You've got my vote 

Edit: All right! I'm a delivery boy!

[#15 :]

I'm speechless!  Or would that be typeless as I'm not actually speaking but rather typing?     Great work Becky!

[#16 :]

  Thank you, Bender-is-Great! I know how you feel. A lot of art on this board has made me typeless as well 

By the way, I think I'll post some more art later today. Stay tuned!

[#17 :]

Oh, my! The Futurama metal band is VERY nice.  You gotta love Fry's hair!

Mattera'fact, All of your stuff is awesome!  I worship you.

[#18 :]

yeah, it's a really cool pic, i like it.

[#19 :]

Wow, your pictures are really good! My favorite is the band one,it's really creative and I'm glad you spent a lot of time on it . This is SO going to be my new wallpaper 

[#20 :]

*Wipes drool off keyboard*

That band one is awesome, I also like the linear shading style on the Fry pic, the hair looks so good.

I really appreciate the joke linked to parasites lost, its something for on-the-ball fans to recognise. I once did a Leela pic that is only funny if you've seen both the deep south and anthology of interest 2.

[#21 :]

YES! You did the band!  That is awesome becky, nice work 

[#22 :]

Love your coloring style on the non-metal one. Is that digital, or handcolored?

[#23 :]

Your band pic has inspired me,becky.I think I will write a fanfic on the crew starting a band! (If there's already been a fanfic like this someone please let me know,meanwhile I'll do my own search)

[#24 :]

Y_L_B, Margarita, Benderfan 1230, Zmithy, Jicannon and Shaucker:  Thank you!!

Prepare yourself for quoting...

Yeah, I think there's even more to a picture when it has references to one or several episodes. It sort of connects the picture even more to the show. I'd love to see that pic you made! Is it published anywhere on the web?

Thanks! It's done with a mouse pad tablet in Photoshop, so I guess it's digital

Oh, please do that, it would be really cool! I'd love to read it!

Well, I'm sorry, but the picture I promised you yesterday isn't finished yet. The reason? A stupid lightning-storm...! I wouldn't risk my computer, so I had it turned off the entire day... (Just in case a lightning would strike) :/
I can still hear some distant rumbling of thunder right now. I just hope it'll be gone by tomorrow, so I can finish the picture 

[#25 :]

Looks like they should be playing Ramstien or A Perfect Circle or some heavy metal band.

Nice work Becky.

[#26 :]

I drew it last year, so its in the midst of a vast (but organised) pile of A4 sheets under my bed. I'm moving house at the weekend, so I'll look out for it whilst packing. Watch this space!

Fan art of bands is very popular in the UK futurama comics, there was a 'Frytallica' pic, and a whole fan comic based on some Canadian band.

[#27 :]

Thanks Zmithy and DogDoo8!

<Fry>Yeah, well, they probably just copied me!</Fry>
Just kidding...  That's cool!
Anyway, I hope you find your picture, Zmithy 

New art today!

This picture has two episode references in it... If you find them, you win (..drumroll..) absolutely nothing!


And this one is a picture of me, Groening-style.

What do you think?

[#28 :]

Awesome-ness on your first picture! Love the clothes- and the callback to LTH. 

The drawing of you is also nice. 

[#29 :]

Aww, the dreams of two 17 year olds ... and unlike most teen fantasies, those two even got realized!  Good work, becky!

[#30 :]

You never cease to amaze me! Nice work. 

[#31 :]

Wow. Just wow. Awesome pic illustrating the 2.

[#32 :]

Holy crap.  [Calculon]It's so good it could cure cancer![/C]

[#33 :]

I love the first one the coloring is really nice.
and the second one is really good aswell.

People should start drawing them selves Groening style. I think I'm gonna make me a new avertar.

[#34 :]

I like the way Leela looks in that pic 

[#35 :]

The dreams picture is just plain gorgeous. Keep up the good work!

[#36 :]

I can't figure out the 2 references in the dream pic, are they anything to do with the last dozen episodes of season 5? (I haven't seen them yet)

But yeah, your stuff is top notch, have you put any on TLZ? Its now the best site for showcasing fan art.

Oh, and I found my pic, heres a link:
 http://img10.exs.cx/img10/5886/22boots.jpg

[#37 :]

Wow,great new pics, becky! ( I am starting that fanfic,by the way.I may post the beginning soon )

[#38 :]

  Thank you for your nice comments, everybody!

Y_L_B: Yay, you got one of the references!

Zoidberg227: Thanks! At first I was worried that Fry was a little to old to dream about being a superhero at 17, but then I realized he's just a big kid 

DogDoo8: Great idea! I'm gonna make myself a custom avatar too!

Zmithy: Cool picture you made! You're very good at drawing! And yep, the 2 references are from the last season. "Less Than Hero" is the most obvious one, and the last one that no-one guessed, was "Leela's Homeworld" (the bracelet Leela wears).
And, yes, I've thought about submitting my stuff to TLZ. But who should I submit it to? There are 6 different people behind the site 

Benderfan 1230: Woohoo! Can't wait for your story 

[#39 :]

Technically, they're early season four episodes (but I'm going by production seasons rather than airing seasons).  There were four production seasons altogether, and I highly recommend you pick up the DVDs for all of them. 

Zmithy, ignore the rest of this post ... don't want any spoilers going on!

(edit):
Becky, I got both references ...

remember I said that unlike most teenager fantasies, that one came true?
